Let's divide 49531 by 42
Our goal is to divide 49531 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 49 to get 7.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 75 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 75 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 75, we get 33.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 333 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 333 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 294 from 333.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 391 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 391 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1179.0
Subtract 378 from 391 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 130 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1179.3
Subtract 126 from 130 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1179.3
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1179.309
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1179.3095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1179.30952
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1179.309523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1179.3095238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1179.3095238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1179.3095238, and the remainder is 4e-08.
